Pets are no longer considered working animals they are more members of the family, you will probably find you spend the same if not more time with your pet than anyone else and losing a pet can be devastating.
Everyday there are reports of lost pets, some are stolen others simply escape from home and can not find their ways back. It is important to secure your home so this does not happen to you and your pet.
Finding lost Pets can depend on luck but there are additional methods you can take to try and track down lost pets.
Make sure you have checked every possible place in your home and garden to rule out if your pet has simply curled up somewhere.
Talk to neighbours and friends and see if they have seen your pet or heard if anyone has found any lost pets, hand out leaflet or flyers, try to have as much detail as possible including a recent photo of your lost pet so people can see exactly what it looks like
Report lost pets to your local vets providing them also with a photo and description.
Contact your local animal shelters and ask if any lost pets have been handed in around the time your pet went missing.
Keep checking the same places over and over again as your pet could return to a place you may have already looked.
Ask local kids if they have seen your pet, if you offer any sort of reward never say how much until your pet has been found safe and sound.
There are many ways in which you can prevent your pet from becoming lost. Most are obvious yet we forget to do them, these include the following.
Make your home and garden more secure by putting up pet proof fences and make sure all your gates are locked at al times
Never let your pet roam around the neighbourhood alone.
Provide your pet with a collar and a tag which clearly states the pets name address and a contact phone number.
Consider having a micro chip implant, this would have to be done by your local vet and is a pain free way of tracking your pet and has helped find may lost pets.
Although losing a pet can be distressing there are so many ways to prevent this from happening and ways to find them should they still become lost, not all make it Home but a huge majority do.
The most important thing is to try and prevent this from happening in the first place as this will keep your pets safe and save you a lot of heartache.

Why do people that find lost pets, dont try to find owners, when they know the pet is not yours?
We lost our Dog, Pogo, and we have done everything you can think to find him, and no one has contacted us. You know someone has had to see him. I have called the department that cleans up animals, and they have not seen him, so there is hope he is alive. So If someone has him, what gives them the right to keep them and not try to find us. They need to look in the Lost ads and try to let us know that they might have our dog. I am so frustrated!!!!!!!!

Alot of times if people aren’t responsible enough to not "lose" their pets than maybe their pets are better off with new owners who are more responsible pet owners.

SOmetimes they can not be bothered, and they also may think that its a cheap way to get a friendly pet, anotehr is taht they are not local or comunity minded, if your dog has been lost, i would try a door knock, and have his fav quiky toy if he has one, and make that noise when you go around to houses, always take an adult , if your a child, as some poepel are nasty. Be careful, as some people will not let you call teh animal, and you may have to call back after a few days if you have no luck

No offense but maybe they figure the owner was irresponsible so they figured they would keep it and take care of it. You also have to take into consideration the condition this person may have found the animal in. How long was your dog lost? Maybe when they found him he was half dead looking? Also…did he have tags on him?
I don’t mean to upset you but maybe he was not found dead on the road because that is not where he died. He could have died anywhere! What size is the dog?
I mean…there are so many factors here. I understand as an owner how upsetting this could be. You just have to look at all angles. How did he get lost? Was your dog properly restrained in your back yard? Were you walking him with a leash? Did you forget to be careful while you were leaving the house and he got out and ran off?
I hope you find Pogo. I hope someone found him and is taking care of him. I hope that if Pogo had tags that they contact you by the phone number listed on the tag. This is a big reminder for everyone to be REALLY careful with their pets.

Many people call shelters and shelters can’t take them. I found a lovely cat and the shelter told me to post signs in my neighborhood for a week. If no one answered, he’s mine. Not everyone buys the paper. Check for signs at local stores. The shelters frequently will tell the finders they have no room and if no one claims him, keep him. I was lucky that my local paper prints found animal ads for free. The ad ran for 1 week and I kept him, even though I know someone had to be missing him terribly. I’m sorry for what has happened to you, but people don’t always read the same paper as you, shop at the same stores, etc. I’m just glad the clean-up people didn’t find him.

I think that some reasons are, like what some other people have said, some people probably think it’s a good way to get a free, already trained, dog. Other times it could be because they don’t know how to find the owner. We used to get lossed/dumped animals all the time at our house and I didn’t even know you could call a vet or animal shelter to find the owner(I also didn’t know about classified), I thought the only way to find the owner was to look at the collar. If you live in an area where animals are frequently dumped and if your dog lossed his his tags or collar(it took us a while to find a collar our dog couldn’t slip out of), someone might think that his owner dumped him.
Best of luck finding your Pogo.

Many people are dishonest, and do not care about the feelings of the family who lost a loved one! They’ve never lost anything! HA , I do believe that if you put up posters and try to locate the owner, with no luck. Then it’s OK to give the dog a home. Only when you have exhausted the search. Some ones missing there pal.
